The Serverless Framework helps you develop and deploy serverless applications using Auth0 Webtasks. The Serverless CLI offers structure, automation and best practices out-of-the-box. And with Auth0 Webtasks it's simple and easy to deploy code in just seconds.

Note: A local profile is required to use Auth0 Webtasks with the Serverless Framework. Follow the steps in the Quick Start to get setup in less than a minute.

A Service is the Framework's unit of organization. You can think of it as a project file, though you can have multiple services for a single application.

The Auth0 Webtasks platform was designed to be simple and easy to use with minimal configuration. Therefore, services that uses Auth0 Webtasks are just a few lines of configuration in a single file, entitled serverless.yml (or serverless.json or serverless.js). It looks like this:

A Function is an independent unit of deployment, like a microservice. It's merely code, deployed in the cloud, that is most often written to perform just a single job. When using Auth0 Webtasks, a Function is implemented as a webtask on the Auth0 Webtasks platform.

You can perform multiple jobs in your code, but we don't recommend doing that without good reason. Separation of concerns is best and the Framework is designed to help you easily develop and deploy Functions, as well as manage lots of them.
